This book was kinda slow which is weird because a lot of stuff was happening. Books that happen between movies that are already canon are hard because you can’t change anything that happens. So it was sad when Rey’s parents died and they left her on jakku and nothing was really resolved in the end of the book because it is resolved in the movie.
Adam Christopher does a really good job in answering some of the questions the sequel trilogy leaves. Luke and Lando are awesome in this with really good supporting characters.
Knowing how Rey's parents story ends doesn't make much difference as it's good to get to know the motivations and reasons as to why they end up leaving her on Jakku.
Overall, a good story told, always good to see Luke Skywalker in action!

Adam Christopher's first Star Wars book had better not be his last. Shadow of the Sith managed to pull off several impressive feats, while also teasing at other stories that could branch off like spokes of a wheel.
Set 17 years after The Return of the Jedi and 13 years prior to The Force Awakens, Shadow of the Sith answers some lingering questions for viewers of The Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker.
That being said, it's an entertaining tale in its own right, bringing us a story in which Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian reunited. You can't go wrong with those two, much less with them *together* and that's really just what I always wanted. There are never enough Lando stories, and this one in many ways is tinged with tragedy. But Lando's pain drives him to return to the hero he is, renews his purpose, and hints at intriguing possible other stories that I hope we can have soon.
But! What's also great about Shadow of the Sith is the introduction of Rey's parents and the two quite intriguing, connected characters Kiza and Komat. With Kiza, I really picked up on some Jungian theory regarding shadow and mask, which I feel cannot be a coincidence.
Dathan and Mirimir are wonderful characters and I could feel their love for each other and Rey radiate off the page.
Any good book leaves you wanting more. A good Star Wars book leaves you wanting even more than that, and yet on its own, it's satisfying. A must for your Star Wars shelf.
